One of their remarks is how it had state of the art graphics and only 2 MB of RAM. This isn't very far off from the truth -- the N64 had 4 MB of RAM without the expansion pack, yes, but it used high latency Rambus DRAM which made it a huge bottleneck on the system.

* ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'':
** During their ''Sonic '06'' playthrough, Arin made fun of Silver and Blaze's interaction by calling Silver, as Blaze, "so naive". Turns out, in Blaze's next line of dialogue in the game, she calls Silver "so naive."
** In an early ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaDraculaX'' episode, Danny jokes about the terrible posture of some skeleton enemies, comparing them to apes. In fact, their English name is "skeleton ape", and a couple [[InsistentTerminology boards]] later one of them [[DonkeyKong throws a barrel]] at Richter.
** In the ''VideoGame/SonicBoom'' video, the Grumps get an objective that they think is to find a cliff, and Dan jokes about how they should run into a guy named Cliff. Turns out, they really ''are'' looking for a character named Cliff.
** In episode 47 of ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' (during the Big the Cat levels), Arin jokingly suggests that ''Froggy'' is the 7th Chaos Emerald, with Danny following that up by saying it would be amazing "if he had swallowed it or something". [[spoiler:Danny was more right than Arin.]][[note]]This only counts because they were paying too little attention during the beginning cutscene to notice Froggy explicitly swallowing Big's Chaos Emerald.[[/note]]
* LetsPlay/Jbizzo49: During ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'', Prometheus made several jokes that ended up describing plot points.
--> '''Prometheus:''' Goddammit, I'm trying to make a fucking joke here, ''Other M''! Let me have these!
* While playing ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations'', Creator/TheKingOfHate gets the notification that one of his Assassin Dens is under attack. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgx5306VUFo&t=7m50s He sarcastically quips that it will now lead into a tower defense minigame.]] 30 seconds later, it turns into a tower defense minigame.
* In the review for ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales'', Brian from WebVideo/MidnightScreenings mentions his confusion over Barbossa having a peg-leg, to which Brad suggests he go to the [[TheWikiRule Pirates wiki]], jokingly saying it probably has its own page.
* Max from LetsPlay/RLYoshi jokes near the beginning of ''Digital: A Love Story'' that [[spoiler: the people he talks to can't be human, because they're too polite to be a human being on the Internet]]. [[IKnewIt As it turns out]], [[spoiler: most of the people he was referring to are actually [=AIs=] and not real people]].
* While reviewing a Collector's Edition version of ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar3'', WebVideo/StuartAshen comes across a Cog Medal awarded to "Doctor" Adam Fenix (father of series protagonist Marcus Fenix.) Given that Ashen knows how half the cast of the Gears series are all steroided up bodybuilders, he jokes that "Doctor" Adam is probably just another musclebound RobLiefeld style giant of a man just like his son but in a white coat...only to find a photo of Adam in the same box and learn that that is exactly what Adam looks like. Just without the lab coat.
* In his ''VideoGame/DanganRonpa'' LP, LetsPlay/SuperJeenius manages to [[IKnewIt correctly guess]] that [[spoiler:Hifumi would be murdered by Celeste]], while he was making a joke.
* In episode 1 of ''LetsPlay/VersusSuperMario64Versus'', Tyler makes a joke about Josh saying 'snap' being a coded message that his next LP will be VideoGame/PokemonSnap, which suprises Josh, who was planning on let's playing VideoGame/PokemonSnap next... [[SubvertedTrope but then reveals he was just kidding.]] [[spoiler:[[DoubleSubversion But it later turns out he wasn't.]] Extra points for uploading the first part on April Fool's Day to make it even more ambiguous whether it was real or not.]]
* Throughout their ''VideoGame/DragonBallZSagas'' playthrough, the guys from Creator/TeamFourStar joked about Piccolo's fusion with Kami being portrayed as a transformation like it is in the ''Budokai'' games. It turns out they were right, much to their amusement. However, Piccolo doesn't "vomit" Kami up after the transformation wears off.
* In Part 15 of ''TFS Plays Batman: The Telltale Series'':
-->'''Grant''': Great things ''always'' [[StartOfDarkness begin like this]], don't worry. This is how the ''best'' political moves always start, is [[NecessarilyEvil necessary evil]].
-->'''Dent''': Do it.
-->'''Grant''': [[spoiler: (''Makes an explosion sound; a major explosion goes off in the distance behind Batman'') Wow I was kidding.]]
* A few episodes of the ''VideoGame/Yakuza0'' playthrough have Matt from WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay jokingly referring to Makoto, Majima's mark, as [[Franchise/GhostInTheShell Motoko Kusanagi]]. [[spoiler: Despite Majima assuming Makoto is a man, his mark ends up being a woman, like Motoko is.]]
* [=UBOGaming's =] LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/VampireSaga: Welcome to Hell Lock'' has him repeatedly calling the protagonist "David" because he bears a strong resemblance to David Beckham. When the protagonist's name is finally revealed, [=UBOGaming=] is very amused to discover it actually is David.
* ''WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}}'':
** While streaming ''[[Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse He-Man: Defender of Greyskull]]'', Joel makes fun of the ''Franchise/StarWars'' ExpandedUniverse by talking about "the ''He-Man'' books where He-Man and Skeletor have sons", and Skeletor's son is named "Skeleson". In the ''Masters of the Universe Classics'' continuity, He-Man and Skeletor do have sons, Skeletor's being named "Skeleteen".
** During Joel's ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' playthrough he wonders if there are any other skeletons in the game, and jokingly names off 'Helvetica' and 'Wingdings'. ''{{Webcomic/Helvetica}}'', a webcomic about skeletons named after fonts, was actually the inspiration for Papyrus and Sans. As for Wingdings, [[TheMissingno well...]]
* ''WebVideo/WeirdVideoGames'': In "Rock 'n' Rage", after expressing disbelief at the random weirdness of the first AncientEgypt level (such as Cleopatra giving you a forcefield powerup) he sarcastically suggests that the next level, Mediaeval Great Britain, will include Dracula as an enemy. It actually turns out to have ''Film/{{Nosferatu}}'' as an enemy...

* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Katara marches up to Aang and requests the usage of Appa. Aang, noticing Zuko standing behind her, is quick to jokingly ask if it's her turn to "take a little field trip" with him, just as Aang and Sokka did in the preceding episodes[[note]][[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheFirebendingMasters The Firebending Masters]], [[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheBoilingRockPart1 The Boiling Rock (Part 1)]] and [[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheBoilingRockPart2 The Boiling Rock (Part 2)]][[/note]]. Katara's answer is a BluntYes, which leaves Aang momentarily startled.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'', when Tiger Claw senses Alopex and freezes up, Bebop jokes that he's been using catnip. Given that Tiger Claw hid a plant behind his back when Bebop and Rocksteady came into his room, it's... not implausible.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTroubleInTokyo'', when Saiko-tek somehow totally vanishes right in front of Robin after kicking open the sprinkler systems, Beast Boy jokingly suggests that he "just wasn't waterproof". As it turns out, [[spoiler:he was made out of paint]], so he really wasn't!

* Whether Creator/GavinFree is going down very quickly or panicking and shooting his teammates in the back, it's been joked that Gavin is more dangerous to the other players than to anyone else. This was actually proven ''true'' in the ''Dying Light'' session where he played as the zombie, and effortlessly wiped the floor with all his coworkers before they realized what was happening.
* ''Magazine/{{Mad}}'' once did a parody of ''ComicStrip/{{Cathy}}'' called ''Amy!'', which depicted Music/AmyWinehouse hiding drugs in her beehive hairdo. Then someone filmed her pulling a vial of cocaine from her hair, and suddenly it's like, "They knew!".
